Product description
Larger two-way bookshelf in ELAC's Vela 2.0 line — same JET 6 pleated-folded ribbon tweeter as the VBS403.2, here driven by a 180 mm aluminium AS-XR woofer instead of the smaller 150 mm unit. Reaches 38 Hz with 87 dB sensitivity on 4 Ω (3.2 Ω min); the trapezoidal cabinet's sculpted sides make the apparent front-face width narrower than the spec-sheet's max-cabinet width.
